  • Very good for recording podcast and use during band practice.
Style: Recorder
Its decent mixxer for home studios. Output is really good as well. Overall loved it.

  • Powerful, versatile and battery power
Style: Recorder
My first criteria was portability and battery power. For my purposes, the L-8 is like a field recorder on steroids. Very versatile. And of the negative reviews I've seen two things seemed be an issue for some users: Some called them cheesy and cheaply made - I don't see it - I have two of these things and they are pretty solid. The other is that the Rode unit is better for Podcasting - maybe true, but this one doubles way better for small PA work. ... show more

  • What a convenient mixer!
Style: Recorder
If you’re a content creator, like me, you can’t go without this one. It runs on batteries or you can plug it in. It’s got onboard effects, and 48 V power for your mic. It’s just a great mixer! The price is also right! Everything else I have used has not been good.

  • Good for standalone, not the best for Computer interface
Style: Recorder
I bought this because I have experience using sound boards and was hoping to cut out some post production on my podcast sine I could adjust it before recording during sound test. For that it is a solid little board, great combination for running a podcast. If you are not used to sound boards it could be a little daunting and you would have to think hard between this and the Rodecaster Pro. Pro's: Portable, battery capable. 6 Dedicated Microphones 2 Flexible channels for sound pads, phone inputs and such More control over recording set up because you can adjust individual channels On Board Recording via SD Card Con's: Not the easiest to incorporate as a Interface for the computer. Micro USB instead of USB -C I am pretty much satisficed with this board, however they could use with 1 or 2 small upgrades. I have a Zoom Podtrak P4 that I bought before this. Great little device. It's big brother could use the USB-C upgrade that it has. Micro USB is outdated. You also have to go to ZOOM's website and down load drivers to use it with your computer (Which I did not find in the instructions, had to go to YouTube to find that out). I didn't have to with the Podtrak 4, just a USB-C connection and I was in business. Upgrade the micro USB to USB-C so the computer can talk at a higher quality and send better sound back and I would upgrade this to a 5 Start review. Overall it is a good little board with a couple small imperfections. When I am doing in person interviews or a stand alone show I love it, just wish it interfaced with my computer a little more like it's baby brother. ... show more

  • Buy it. Stop putting it in “wish list” or “save for later”. Trust me.
Style: Recorder
Amazon recommended I rate the “thickness”. Look, I’m not sure what they were asking me but this thing is a lot of things so I gave it 5star thickness. If you’re a beginner, buy it. Go to mixer mode and go to town. If you’re intermediate like me, buy it. You can record jam sessions or concerts or even the phone calls your wife tries to pretend she never had with you. If you’re a pro, buy it. Look up a guy named David Shanhun on YouTube. He actually does some really impressive stuff (I have no relation and make no money from this endorsement. He’s actually not super famous, just does a great job showcasing this thing). Bottom line, if you have $400 go ahead and spend it on this thing. You know you’re bored as hell and the LiveTrack can do a lot of cool stuff. ... show more

  • Another 5 star product from Zoom
Style: Recorder
Another 5 star product from Zoom. Very flexible, simple to use. Preamps offer plenty of gain, headphone outputs are loud. Works well as an audio interface. Connect this to a USB power bank and get high quality recordings anywhere. This is my first digital mixer, I've always used audio interfaces. This can do so much more than a typical usb audio interface for the same price and quality. ... show more

  • Great value, control and effects
Style: Recorder
Love this mixer, it has all the features of a pro-level unit (backlighted buttons, effects, presets, recording, different input options) and a battery backup to boot. No issues are 12 months of use.

  • Buyers Remorse - Livetrak L-8
Style: Recorder
Its a brilliant little machine with so many pointless flaws that Zoom could easily change. I bought it, I liked it; then I saw a comparison video on youtube. You don't even realize the many issues with this L-8 until you see what the other mixers offer in this category. In all honesty this unit has some great features but if you are going to drop hundreds of dollars check out what other mixers have (by comparison). There is a Pyle unit that has almost everything the L-8 has and its $250 less. Yes, I know, "but its Pyle". I didn't go with that brand, I'm just sharing others I found. I went with the Rodecaster Pro. Its a couple hundred more but watch a comparison on youtube between the Rodecaster and the L-8. The cord management (plugging in the back vs the top) is worth choosing another option (for this reason alone). The best reason to go with the Rode is all the digital processing that comes along with the Rode (limiter, compressor, etc...) The best thing about the L-8 is the EQ that is customizable on every channel. -There is no EQ on the Rode. If you are using different mics (shotgun along with a dynamic mic or ribbon) you can add bass to your shotgun or turn up the highs on a ribbon mic (on L-8). The final straw for me was that on the L-8 you can only turn phantom power on (for all channels) or off (on all channels). The Rode has phantom power PER CHANNEL. Also, the L-8 LED screen is overly complicated. You can't have it all. There are pro's and con's with everything but take the time to watch some videos on both options. The EQ is the best feature on the L-8 but unless you watch some videos on other mixers you won't actually know all that you are missing. ... show more
